Is it possible to add -h, -v to --help, --version?

[rubin55]

I would like to make my app behave consistently and add the short variants ala, -v, --version and -h, --help to trigger the built-in AutoVersion and AutoHelp; is this possible? How would one accomplish that?

I've written #608 to implement this by adding new AutoHelpShortName and AutoVersionShortName settings, which default to false. If you set them to true, then -h will be the shortname for --help and -V will be the shortname for --version. Note that that's uppercase V for consistency with almost all software that I've seen (because -v with a lowercase v is usually the shortname for --verbose).

#608 has been replaced by #686, which has the same feature but has been rebased on top of the current state of the develop branch.
